Dubai Opera is honored to welcome Kings of Convenience, the beloved indie folk duo from Bergen, Norway. Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe are known for their hushed harmonies and graceful acoustic arrangements—music that speaks softly yet lingers deeply.
Often likened to Simon & Garfunkel and Belle and Sebastian, their work carries a nostalgic warmth, blending lyrical depth with understated beauty.
Since their 2000 debut Quiet Is the New Loud, the duo has released critically acclaimed albums including Riot on an Empty Street, Declaration of Dependence, and their 2021 return Peace or Love.
With over 1.1 million monthly Spotify listeners, their most beloved songs—“Misread,” “I’d Rather Dance with You,” “Mrs. Cold,” and “Know How”—have reached hundreds of millions of streams worldwide.
This is a rare chance to experience them live in the region—an evening of intimacy, charm, and musical honesty set within the elegance of Dubai Opera.
